Quotes! I love quotes and have gathered them most of my adult life. Here’s a few that have been relevant for me lately:
- The perfect is the enemy of the good. ~Voltaire
- Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. ~ William Morris
- You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star. ~ Nietzsche
- It takes courage to grow up to be who you really are. ~ e. e. cummings
- Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. ~ Ernest Hemingway
- You’re never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream. ~ C.S. Lewis
- Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible”! ~ Audrey Hepburn
- At the worst, a house unkempt cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. ~ Rose Macaulay
- To practice any art, no matter how well or badly is a way to make your soul grow. So do it. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
- Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. ~Unknown
